    Popcorn Balls


    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction


    This is a very old recipe, especially good for Halloween treats. Nannie remembers popcorn balls from her childhood.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 cup light corn syrup or sorghum
    • 1/3 cup water
    • 1/4 cup butter
    • 3/4 tsp. salt
    • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
    • Popped corn


    Instructions


    1. Cook all ingredients, except for vanilla & popcorn, to a hard ball stage.
    2. Add vanilla.
    3. Pour over popcorn and shape into balls. Wetting hands while shaping balls helps prevent sticking.
    4. Wrap individually in saran wrap.


    Final Comments


    Grandma Emma often inserted suckers on a stick inside the balls.
